If nothing unexpected changes, the Federal Government will open the Kara Bridge and the Long Bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway on Sunday (today).
This was said in a statement released on Saturday by Babatunde Fashola, the minister of work and housing, through his special communications adviser, Hakeem Bello.

However, as the road reconstruction project enters its final stage, Fashola urged drivers to be patient while navigating the congested stretch from the Toll Gate to Kara Bridge in Lagos.
He said;
Work within the OPIC area between Kara Bridge and the Long Bridge has been completed and would be opened to traffic today, Sunday, April 30. This means that the main carriageway, both bounds, from Berger (New Garage) and Sagamu Inter-change on Section 1 of the Project has been completed.
The intensity of work and the high volume of traffic which had to be accommodated at the same time have been complicated by impatience on the part of some motorists who drive against the planned traffic flow and breakdown of vehicles.
According to Fashola, his ministry is already working with the Lagos State Government, all traffic management, and security agencies to reduce the inconvenience caused by the Road reconstruction.
All attention would now be focused on the outstanding work between Otedola Bridge and Berger (both bounds).
